The direction of march of the Japanese army in North China has been determined, and the Japanese army in Central China has not been idle either, having captured Quanjiao County.
The situation was momentarily shaken.
At this moment, Han Fuqu, who was in southwest Shandong, received a telegram asking him to go to Kaifeng for a meeting, and it was also clearly stated in it that due to the large number of troops gathered in Kaifeng, it was difficult to arrange the garrison, so all the generals who came to the meeting , the troops you can bring can only be one regiment at most, no more than one is allowed.
"Commander-in-Chief, this is a Hongmen Banquet. You can't go. If you go, you may not be able to come back." Deputy Commander-in-Chief Shen Honglie advised him.
"But this is a meeting presided over by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself, and it was also ordered by the Military Commission. I'm afraid it would be wrong not to go." Han Fuqu sighed softly, losing the base area in Shandong, and relying on the little food and pay in their group army alone, It cannot afford to support the nearly 100,000 troops of the Third Army.
"How about bringing the Army Guard Group with you! After all, the Commander-in-Chief is the backbone of our Third Army. If anything happens, it will be really hard to handle." Shen Honglie, who was also getting a little fatter, said.
Han Fuqu nodded lightly and said, "Yes, it is necessary. In addition, I will also bring Sun Tongxuan with me. Commander Sun is very agile and has good skills. With him by my side, I feel more at ease."
"Okay, then I will call Commander Sun to come over and go to Kaifeng with the Commander-in-Chief. In addition, do you want Sun Tongxuan to bring the Twelfth Army with him? If something happens in Kaifeng, he can rush to the Commander-in-Chief's aid as soon as possible. The security group." Shen Honglie asked.
Han Fuqu thought for a while and finally decided to take the Twelfth Army Headquarters with him: "Bring them with you! I have offended the Chairman several times. I even refused to support Song Zheyuan's troops during the July 7th Incident. Not only did I not support, I don't allow Song Zheyuan's troops to pass through here. This time I abandoned Jinan without permission, and it will definitely be a disaster. It's better to take the Twelfth Army with you to avoid any accidents."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Shen Honglie responded. Who among the people who can reach his position is not Han Fuqu's confidant?
Since they are a community of interests, if something happens to Han Fuqu, his fate will not be good, so Shen Honglie must consider everything from Han Fuqu's standpoint.
Not long after, Sun Tongxuan, who was promoted by Han Fuqu, came to Han Fuqu's temporary headquarters.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Sun Tongxuan, Commander of the Twelfth Army, has been ordered to report!" A tall lieutenant general with a clean cut hair came in and reported. He looked very young, probably only thirty or forty years old. In terms of appearance, there are only four words that can describe him - honest and honest.
"Very good, now I'm calling you here because I want to give you a task." Han Fuqu said bluntly.
"Commander-in-Chief, let me tell you, Tongxuan will go through fire and water, no matter what!" Sun Tongxuan assured, giving the impression that there are only two words, reliable.
"Okay, let me tell you straight. Chairman Chiang asked me to go to Kaifeng for a meeting. I'm afraid something unexpected might happen, so I now ask you to take the security team to Kaifeng to protect me. If there is anything special, please do it." Protect me." Han Fuqu said it sincerely. For him, this was the moment of trouble.
The time has come to show whether he is a true confidant. Han Fuqu is very careful about this.
The more difficult the time, the more it can be seen that in the moment of human nature, the more careful we have to be.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. The twelve armies under him will be able to fully protect the Commander-in-Chief's safety!" Sun Tongxuan assured in a loud voice.
"Okay, since you have the determination, that's fine. At this point, you can take your 12th Army and follow me to Fengkai for a meeting!" Han Fuqu nodded and said.
Whether it is the Twelfth Army, his guard regiment, or Sun Tongxuan, they are all his confidants, so that he can trust them.
Now that he has decided to report to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, he must immediately start planning the march. After all, this trip is related to Han Fuqu's personal life and the arrangements for the 100,000-strong army.
…
On January 4, the Japanese army invaded and occupied Qufu and Gunzhou (today's Jining). The Chinese army gathered in Xuzhou to prepare for a major battle with the Japanese army.
Our army in the southern section of the Jinpu Line will attack the Mingguang (i.e. Jiashan County) line to defeat the enemy forces that invade this area.
Our army on the right wing attacked from Chihe Town in Dingyuan County and recaptured Daliu.
Looking at the increasingly urgent battle report, Zhang Tianhai's brows were always furrowed, and the smoke of war was approaching again.
"Yulin, how is the situation now?" Guo Qiliang, who had just returned from inspecting the troops, took off his military cap and placed it on the desk in the office and asked Zhang Tianhai.
"The situation on the southern front is not bad, but the battle report on the northern front is not optimistic. Qufu and Gunzhou have fallen into the hands of the enemy. The Japanese army in Lu soldiers attacked in two directions, one way to the east and one to the west. The enemy forces that appeared in the Jining and Qufu areas The military designation is the Japanese Tenth Division," Zhang Tianhai said, gently rubbing his brow.
Upon hearing this, Guo Qiliang raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The Japanese Tenth Division? It is another standing division of the Japanese army. The troops on the front lines of Tengxian and Linyi are probably going to have a tough battle."
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said: "Yes, the commander of the theater has ordered the 22nd Army of Deng Xihou of the Sichuan Army to go north to support Teng County at night, and the 3rd Army of Pang Bingxun stationed in Haizhou has also been ordered to move to Linyi."
"The Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army, it seems that this battle can be fought." Guo Qiliang sighed softly. Both the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army are notoriously "poor", especially the Sichuan Army. Their equipment is very poor. Even if Even the well-equipped Central Army's German Armament Division was at a disadvantage against the Japanese standing divisions, let alone these local miscellaneous troops with very poor equipment.
Speaking of this, the corners of Zhang Tianhai's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile: "Wait a minute, although their equipment is inferior, they are all bloody men. Although the Japanese army has sophisticated soldiers and powerful weapons, their position is still limited." If you underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, it may not give our army a chance to win."
Guo Qiliang shook his head and said: "The idea is very good. After all, their equipment and the quality of their soldiers are so different from the Japanese army. It was so difficult for our German weapon divisions to fight the Japanese army in Shanghai, let alone They're gone. I don't like them."
"Brother Qiliang, how about we make a bet. Let's see if they win or lose. Before three months, even if our army has a big victory, I will win. How about that?" Zhang Tianhai was sitting behind his desk. He raised his head and looked at Guo Qiliang, who was sitting on a chair nearby.
Looking at Zhang Tianhai's expression, Guo Qiliang knew that the bet he proposed was very detrimental to him, and he probably wanted to plot against him again.
Therefore, Guo Qiliang flatly refused the bet to avoid falling into the trap carefully set by a certain commander Zhang: "No! You and I are dignified party and state soldiers, how can we bet on such a thing? That is the greatest disrespect to the officers and soldiers at the front. .”
Hearing what Guo Qiliang said, Zhang Tianhai knew that his wish to trick Guo Qiliang into eating a meal in a restaurant would be in vain.
I saw Zhang Tianhai leaning gently on the back of the chair, sighing like a long sigh and saying: "Oh, people nowadays are so aware of fraud prevention. Even a dignified leader like me can't cheat on him." , It’s true that people’s hearts are not as good as they used to be, and the world is getting worse..."
"..." Guo Qiliang's forehead was covered with black lines, but he was already scolding him in his heart: He knew that this bastard had no good intentions, but he didn't expect him to be so disrespectful...
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa","""Guo Chief of Staff, don"t make your face so dark, it is easy to get wrinkles, and girls will not like it. You have to smile more, only with a smile like mine can you find a partner." said Zhang. Tianhai bared his teeth and smiled, revealing two neat rows of big white teeth.
Guo Qiliang felt a chill and had goosebumps. He grabbed his military cap, turned around and left, not forgetting to say: "Commander, please take your time, I will continue to inspect the training of the troops."
I saw Zhang Tianhai looking at Guo Qiliang's leaving back and murmuring to himself: "This young man is really, wouldn't it be nice to smile more? He is busy working and leading troops all day long, right?" You really won’t be able to find a partner…”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianhai did not forget to pick up a mirror, looked at himself very narcissistically, bared his teeth again, and said with a depressed face: "Don't you look good? I think he is quite handsome..."
If Guo Qiliang had been present, he would have been so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, and still cursed Tang Guoqiang's version of Zhuge Liang and roared: "I have never seen such a shameless person!!"
